Atletico Madrid — Levante Prediction, H2H and Probable Lineups — 8 November 2025
On November 8, 2025, in Matchday 12 of La Liga, Atletico Madrid will host Levante. The match is scheduled to kick off at 18:30 Central European Time. Let’s take a closer look at the potential outcome of this clash.
Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid approach this match in strong form after a confident Champions League victory over Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 3-1. The team has clearly recovered from their heavy 0-4 defeat to Arsenal earlier in the group stage. Since that setback, Atletico have played three matches and won all of them, scoring eight goals and conceding just once. Overall, Diego Simeone’s side are showing excellent consistency — in their last ten matches across all competitions, they’ve suffered only one defeat, with the rest ending in wins or draws.
In La Liga, Atletico have also been impressive lately. They recorded back-to-back wins, first defeating Real Betis 2-0 away, and then securing a comfortable 3-0 home victory over Sevilla. The Madrid club currently sit 4th in the league table with 22 points, eight behind leaders Real Madrid. Their home form at the Metropolitano has been outstanding. Atletico remain unbeaten at home this season, with seven wins and one draw in eight matches, and they have scored in every single home game.
When it comes to home fixtures against Levante, Atletico have traditionally dominated. They’ve won 11 of the last 13 home encounters, losing just twice. However, it’s worth noting that both of those defeats came in the two most recent meetings in Madrid — and Atletico failed to score in either of them.
Levante
Levante, who returned to La Liga last season after winning La Liga 2, have quickly felt the difference in class at the top level. The team failed to win any of their first four matches of the new campaign but later managed to adapt and find some stability. However, they are once again struggling for form — Levante are winless in their last three league matches (two defeats and one draw). In their most recent outing, they lost 1-2 at home to Celta Vigo, conceding the decisive goal in the final minutes. After 11 rounds, Levante sit 16th in the La Liga table with 9 points. In the Copa del Rey, they advanced to the next round after a hard-fought 4-3 away win against Orihuela, though their overall performance was far from convincing.
One notable aspect of Levante’s season has been their away form, which has actually been quite solid. Across all competitions, they are unbeaten in their last five away matches, with three wins and two draws. Defensively, however, the team continues to struggle. Levante have already conceded 20 goals — one of the worst defensive records in the league, second only to bottom-placed Girona.
As for their head-to-head record against Atletico Madrid, the balance has been surprisingly even in recent years. Across the last six meetings between the sides, both teams have two wins each, while the other two ended in draws. In terms of goals, these fixtures have generally been low-scoring — only one of the last six encounters produced over 2.5 goals.

Atletico Madrid — Levante Prediction
Both teams approach this match in very different form and mood. Atletico Madrid have found their rhythm, performing confidently both in La Liga and the Champions League. Their home record is especially impressive, as they remain unbeaten at the Metropolitano this season. However, it’s worth noting that their recent home matches against Levante have not gone well, with two consecutive defeats to this opponent in Madrid. Levante, on the other hand, have been far less convincing. The team has struggled in recent league matches and continues to show defensive vulnerability. Still, in their head-to-head meetings with Atletico, Levante have often managed to put up a decent fight, and these encounters rarely produce many goals. Considering Atletico’s busy schedule following their Champions League match, as well as Levante’s motivation to earn some crucial points, this fixture is likely to be tight and low-scoring — though the hosts remain clear favourites to take the win. My bet for this match — Under 3.5 Total Goals at odds of 1.69.
